Day 1 to Isla Chiloe

40 37.313'S, 73 54.348'W

We left the marina at 9:15 am and headed down river and out into the ocean. It was overcast and hazy but the fog cleared as we were leaving the river behind.

Since then we have had very sloppy seas with swells of 3 meters, at 5-6 seconds apart, some of them cross swells which causes the boat to rock back and forth. On top of this we have periodic rain showers. We are motorsailing with the main but not enough wind to sail in.

Not much traffic but we did see a large ketch running north with bare poles except for a small mizzen.

We will be so glad when we get out of this.

Cheer on the Seahawks for us!!!
